Chapter 160 - 160. Family
“We don’t need to reason out things when it comes to family. Just because they are our family, we should never take them for granted.
In fact we should try to reach out to them from time to time, show them that we love and care for them.
Though all these things are seen from our actions, we should take time to remind them that we are there for them.
This makes them believe that no matter even if the world opposes them, they will always have their family.” Kizy said, remembering how she used to wish for a huge joint family since childhood.
She was an only child for her parents who didn’t have any siblings. Thus they were a happy small family of three. But she always felt that loneliness whenever she was invited to her friend’s birthday parties where all the family members would be gathered together.
Therefore she always wanted a joint family, and thankfully she was blessed with one.
“So you want me to go and invite them personally?” Markus asked once again, confirming his suspicion.
“No. We both would go and invite them.” Kizy said with a smile.
“Fine.” Markus said, thinking it won’t hurt him to meet family members. Anyways it had been long since he met his cousins. Especially after grandma’s birthday banquet, he hadn’t seen most of them.
And even at the banquet, he wasn’t able to chat much with others because of the cake incident. Thus he thought it would only be good to personally meet them all.
His cousins usually had get-togethers and parties. But usually he never joined them, mostly because he was busy, and secondly he didn’t want to risk their lives.
Though they all were trained, he preferred to maintain distance from people to not harm their lives.
“I had one more doubt.” Kizy said.
“Speak.” Markus replied.
“Do you know a good perfume brand? Maybe someone good enough who could be a great partner in future.” Kizy asked.
“Yeah.” Markus said, remembering his own perfume brand.
He had met the CEO who was an old down to earth man in his seventies. He had two daughters, but unfortunately none of them were interested in continuing their family legacy, resulting in their sales going downhill for the past decade.
But Markus loved the perfume, and never left using it.
“Who?” Kizy asked with a grin.
“It’s ‘Eternity’. I have been using their perfume for a long time now, and trust me they are the best. Though most people nowadays are not buying it anymore.” Markus said.
“Then we will definitely go for it. We exactly need someone who is good at it but knows only to opt for hard work and not shortcuts. Even after being in decline for the past decade, they are still producing good perfumes, which means they are constant. Anyways I will need you to visit them with me once we are done sorting our guest lists.” Kizy said.
“Okay. I don’t have an issue.” Markus replied.
“Also, let’s visit ‘Aurum’ on saturday.” Kizy said.
“Why that now?” Markus asked, not knowing why Kizy wanted to visit a jewellery shop.
“You’ll know that soon.” Kizy said with a smirk. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Fine.” Markus said, making a pout.
Soon the dinner was served and the couple finished it with their usual bickering.
*NEXT MORNING, SOME UNKNOWN ISLAND*
Aaron was seen sparring with a bald man, almost twice his size. They were fighting inside a circle while six men were surrounding the circle, watching the fight silently.
The man kicked him in the abdomen, making Aaron move a little back while holding his abdomen.
But the next second, Aaron ran ahead, jumping in the air before punching his nose before landing.
The man was still dazed when Aaron ran behind the man and kicked his knee, making the man kneel down.
Aaron didn’t give the man any time before choking him from behind.
The man struggled a lot, making Aaron lose his balance a little, but he didn’t loosened his grip. Finally the man tapped on Aaron’s elbow, making Aaron stop the choke while catching his own breath.
“You have improved!” One of the men standing on the boundary said, a hint of pride visible in it.
But Aaron didn’t say even a single word and stood up. He wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his lips, walking away from the fighting ring.
For the past ten days, he was being trained to fight like a maniac.
In the beginning, his opponents were somehow similar or even smaller and weaker than him.
But after three days, his opponents started becoming stronger.
And the Professor had assigned five men to train him for these fights. He had warned Aaron that if he were to lose even a single fight for the thirty days, he would experience hell.
But if he were to win all the matches continuously, Professor promised to never torture him again unnecessarily.
Today he had barely managed to win the match, but he knew, tomorrow would be even worse.
After the matches, he was given a half an hour break, after which the five assigned men would train him alternately in different aspects of fighting.
And the only better part he felt about this was that those five men treated him nicely. Even though their training was harsh, they would take care of him.
The one who had praised him just now was training him for agility. Thus Aaron felt a little relieved after hearing praise for the first time in the past ten days.
But unfortunately, he wasn’t in the condition to reply to the man, as he knew that the kick from the bald man had left him with some severe internal injury which was painful.
Thus he immediately left the fighting ring, to go and see the doctor, who would give him an everyday checkup.
He would receive numerous injuries through these everyday fights and training, but luckily a doctor was assigned to him, who would tend to his injuries and try to lessen the pain as much as he could.
“You don’t look good today.” A voice said from behind which creeped the hell out of Aaron.
